Benjamin Singer, a research and clinical fellow in the division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine has won the A. McGehee Harvey Award due to the high quality of his research. He will be recognized at the Young Investigators’ Day Program on April 16, 2015 where he will present a poster to deans, medical and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinical and basic science faculty and family members across the School of Medicine.
Ben’s research deals mostly with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a common and life-threatening illness that affects nearly 200,000 Americans each year and currently has no treatment. Along with his mentors, Ben has made a discovery that represents a target for ARDS drug therapy that could impact outcomes for this devastating condition.
